Lemonhead is a brand of candy produced by the Ferrara Pan Candy Company. Lemonheads are a round, lemon-flavored candy consisting of a sweet coating, soft sour shell, and a hard candy core.
The candy was born out of the same cold panned process as the company's Red Hots in 1962. They are most commonly sold in their standard 1 centimeter size, but are also produced in a single-sale 3 cm version.
Recently, Ferrara Pan brought all of their fruit-flavored candies under a consistent naming convention: Lemonheads, Grapeheads (formerly Alexander the Grape), Cherryheads (formerly Cherry Chan/Cherry Clan), Melonheads (formerly Mr. Melon), Appleheads (formerly Johnny Apple Treats), and Orangeheads.
The candy was mentioned in the lyrics of the song "Boats N' Hoes" from the movie Stepbrothers (2008).
